Looking Glass Siberian Bugloss is a compact shade loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown as a groundcover for its large heart shaped with shimmering light silver foliage and thin green veining. Airy branching clusters of clear blue forget-me-not like flowers bloom above the foliage in spring. Flowers best in part shade and rich, consistently moist well-drained soils.
